Your “Well, That Was Fun” Free Agency Thursday Evening Open Thread

NFL non-Free Agent news:

  • It’s official. Vince Young will be drinking the green water of Rider Pride this summer.
    • pretty much resolves the “Did Johnny Manziel try out?” question.
He’ll need this explained before he gets there.
  • Also cut: Jay Cutler by the Bears, who will only cost $2 million against their cap by this move.
  • Kirk Cousins has requested a trade. The question is, who is in charge enough to do it?
    • also, Dan Snyder told him to pound sand, because it’s not happening.
  • In case you missed it from the Free Agency thread, Aldon Smith picked himself up another alcohol charge today.
    • from the news report:
      • Smith has been detained by San Francisco police for public intoxication on Thursday morning. The incident occurred after a vehicle in which he was riding collided with an undercover police car. He is expected to be released by police when sober.

Finally, I renewed my Seahawks tickets today. $1930 for the two seats, which at today’s exchange rate equals $2650 Canadian. So I may need some extra money…


Free Agency:

So many signings! So many player moves!

So much willingness to take good money to join a crap team! A helpful agent in the player’s corner!

And it was only the first day. It’s hard to know where to begin, so have at it down in the comments. Who knows where Brock Ostweiler will land by midnight.

All this overreacting to the first day of free agency plum tuckered me out.

It’s the saltine cracker in the middle of our football drought.

Your brother’s a sex trafficker?

In a manner of speaking.

His terrible attempt at a southern accent almost ruined that season of Justified for me.

We’re playing. tWBS is somehow the chip leader, so get in here!

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Kinda burnt out tonight. Thank you for the offer.

Question; do you play five card draw? Maybe jokers wild with aces, straights, and flushes?

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Usually hold em with some occasional 7 card stud. No idea if we can set up draw, but I’m sure Balls could figure it out.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I’m very depressed that I’m in an argument over who will be worse this season, the Bears or Browns

JerBear50

My first inclination was to call you our for exaggerating. On further review, my stomach doesn’t feel so good right now.

I am quite pleased Baylor lost.

litre_cola

That whole corrupt athletic department shouldn’t exist, they should be in jail.

Brocky

Brocky

The people who think Jay Cutler sucks are the same people who think that Tim Tebow is awesome

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Not as black and white as you say; the Venn has more overlap than you’d think.

Brocky

I now realize that line works best as a way to antagonize so called “bears” fans

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Now that you mention it, it may be a good troll like for THOSE types of Bears fans.

litre_cola

Isnt Buddy Cole a Bear fan?

Brocky

god iu is gonna get slaughtered slaughtered tomorrow night

litre_cola

I enjoy the WBC way more than grapefruit/cactus league. Even though all but one of the Israelis are from Israel, and Freddie freeman was not born up here, I still love the format. Asian crowds have been nuts.

King Hippo

I was wondering who actually watches that stuff when there be basketball on! You, tWBS, and Asia, it turns out.

Senor Weaselo

If I had MLB Network I would.

litre_cola

I have no hoops up here. Ice football, curling, Suns v Lakers or the Italy Mexico game. Yes, I have the sports package, it consists of 10+ channels and those are my options

King Hippo

That’s insane that Canadia gets the regular season fixtures but not the conference tourneys.

litre_cola

ACC is on Peachtree, and we get the finals on CBS?ABC/FOX on Saturday, Sunday but that is it.

King Hippo

Looks like BayBay go ByeBye

Senor Weaselo

Big 12 carnage yaaaaaaaaaay!

King Hippo

it’s good tournamenting. Jeebus hisself would be all like WOO!!!!!

WCS

God… WVU’s going to lose by 25 tomorrow night.

King Hippo

sheeeeeit, you has hoodoo with K State too??

Croooow

I know it’s Rutgers, but Northwestern getting past them with ease should now make them a lock for the Dance.

WCS

Welcome to Drumpf’s America.

litre_cola

Wilbon will be extra irritating. Guaranteed that ass is at the 1st game.

WCS

Did I TELL you that MY alma mater is NORTHWESTERN?! The SAME Northwestern that just MADE THE NCAA TOURNAMENT for the FIRST TIME?! It’s UNBELIEVABLE, Tony!

Sill Bimmons

Did I tell you that my alma mater is LAFAYETTE? And also too PITTSBURGH? The same two PROGRAMS THAT HAVEN’T EVER BEEN RELEVANT???

/s’up WCS

WCS

Howdy.

Croooow

Sill’s back?!??!

King Hippo

If you re-arrange the letters in “Elvis, Lisl” it spells “SILL LIVES” ppl forget that

Senor Weaselo

Malort for everyone!

Brocky

I threw up in my mouth a little reading that.

The Right Reverend Electric Mayhem

Giving the Browns more draft picks is essentially just loading extra bullets in the cylinder during Russian Roulette.

JerBear50

No matter where they aim it will somehow find their foot.

King Hippo

surely I could sell a network on televised Russian Roulette? In this sick fucking country??

Shogun Marcus

Yes.

King Hippo

IT CAN BE TWO THINGS!!!

King Hippo

Those of you with Big 12 working knowledge – is Scott Drew as big of a douchebag up close as he seems from a distance?

WCS

He’s employed by Baylor University, so that’s really all you need to know.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I mean, I wouldn’t blow him

BrettFavresColonoscopy

/has no Big 12 knowledge, working or otherwise

King Hippo

he deffo doesn’t seem liek he’d give much of a reach-around

King Hippo

this would be like if Hippo could inject opium into some Popeye’s fried chicken. 3-piece spicy white meat, with the Hong Kong nods kick PLEAZ!!

Senor Weaselo

That sounds dangerous. Dangerously delicious, I mean.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Fucking Flyers. Swear to god.

“horseshit carousel” is pretty funny for a guy who makes millions driving really fast in a circle.

litre_cola

Where are your seats beerguy? 165 each in our funny money 8 times a year per seat is ok if the seats are any good. Do you also get the privilege of watching preseason in that fee?

litre_cola

Fellow Scot, and yeah 6 to 7 for that is cool, gorgeous stadium and pioneer square is kick ass

King Hippo

Wait, the Ice Giants/Yankees lost to the Ice Skyhawks?? NOBODY loses to the Ice Skyhawks!!

Senor Weaselo

They’re just trying to lock up that first wild card!
